Chapter 14: Chapter 14 You Are Driving for Didi Chapter 14: Chapter 14 You Are Driving for Didi The auctioneer cheerfully held the small gavel.
“Next up is a piece of public news, the Blue Whale Organization is planning a siege on the High Tower and Deep Sea, with a major operation in Beijing.
“The starting bid is three million US dollars.”
The public portion of the news is free, but details still require bidding.
Qingwu was not interested in Blue Whale’s attempt to target her organization, if they had the ability, let them come; it was uncertain who would prevail.
For the past two years, she had been busy with her gambling stone business and let the Assassin Organization develop on its own, inadvertently becoming one of the Dark Web’s three giants.
What intrigued her was Blue Whale’s actions in Beijing, she guessed it was related to Elder Shen.
This piece of information, she had to get it!
If she let Blue Whale act against Elder Shen under her nose, how could she continue to survive?
Qingwu raised her paddle, “Three million and one US dollars, I am the Fool.”
Everyone: “…”
Who did she say she was?!
Three million and one wasn’t much, but that last sentence made those present who wanted to bid lower their paddles!
The auction staff were also speechless.
Originally, they planned for this news to be auctioned for ten million US dollars, but with the Fool present, who dared compete with her?
In VIP Room 9, Pei Jue was a bit surprised, and then he also lowered his paddle.
It seemed that the previous news he competed for was with her, and since she was interested in it, his three million hadn’t been wasted.
Thinking of this, Pei Jue leaned back slightly, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
He had checked all the companies and employees in the Ruihua Building and still hadn’t found Qingwu, as the Fool wouldn’t be easily discovered.
With the Fool’s name revealed, everyone on the scene was as silent as chicks, letting Qingwu take the news.
“Congratulations to the Fool, sold for three million and one!”
The auctioneer’s face was full of a broad smile, “Up next is a free piece of news, the Gambling Stone King will publicly gamble with some families next month, and everyone is welcome to attend.”
Qingwu: “…”
The title of Gambling Stone King was quite renowned, and anyone involved in the jewelry industry knew it, but her identity remained unknown, her whereabouts were unpredictable, and any stone she cut revealed top-quality emeralds.
How did she not know she had a public schedule?
Qingwu stood up and went to the information room, swiping her card to get her news.
“The Blue Whale Organization will send assassins tomorrow to target General Shen Lisu again, for a fee of one hundred million US dollars.”
…
At the bottom of the Ruihua Building, a washed but worn-out Volkswagen was discreetly parked, clearly showing its age.
As soon as Qingwu stepped out of the Ruihua Building, she saw Pei Jue standing by the car.
He waved at her, his refined and handsome face full of surprise, exuding an air of warmth.
Qingwu was a bit surprised and walked up to ask, “Are you driving for Didi?”
Pei Jue: “…”
His smile froze for a moment, then he met Qingwu’s somewhat skeptical gaze, those eyes particularly beautiful and dazzling.
Qingwu looked at the car behind him and thought of the information she had just found about the village near the Love Orphanage.
It was poor, extremely poor, with village people either going to Myanmar to scam or to Japan to shoot films.
Pei Jue managing to survive on the Dark Web was already quite an achievement.
“Would I be honored to give you a ride?”
Qingwu figured she needed a ride anyway, and any car would do, plus it could boost Pei Jue’s business, so she compliantly got in.
“To make you willing to join Deep Sea, I’m giving you a welcome gift.”
Qingwu: “…”
Who sends welcome gifts now, after meeting several times already?
Pei Jue took out a small box of information and handed it to Qingwu, “Open it and see.”
Qingwu was a bit surprised, “Was VIP Room 9 you? Why did you spend so much money on this news, how long would you need to drive for Didi to earn it back?”
He’d stayed on the richest list for so long, but it was his first time being mistaken for someone who lived by driving for Didi, making Pei Jue feel complicated, hinting, “I have another main profession.”
Qingwu suddenly realized, considering he was the leader of the Deep Sea Organization, taking an order on the Dark Web casually would make him a small fortune.
“Did you bid on this news just to give it to me? What if I’m not willing to join Deep Sea?”
“No worries, the value of a gift is to bring happiness, as long as it makes you happy, that’s its greatest value, the by-products are secondary.”
Spending so much money on news just to make her happy?
The box in Qingwu’s hands suddenly felt a bit hot.
“Are all the gifts you give to girls this expensive?”
Pei Jue: “…”
“You’re the first, I never give gifts to ladies, except when my mother was alive, she loved flowers.”
Qingwu didn’t expect him to bring up a sad topic and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
“No worries. So does my gift delight you?”
Qingwu: “…”
Who directly asks such a question!
When receiving gifts from the Shen family’s four sons, why hadn’t she felt so speechless?
Or was it people like them, growing up in poverty, didn’t know what being subtle and restrained was?
Did they express all emotions directly?
Qingwu had interacted with several international orphans before, knowing they liked to express their thoughts freely, fearing they might not have a chance to speak tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Qingwu suppressed that slightly abnormal heartbeat.
“… Happy.”
The smile on Pei Jue’s face deepened, making Qingwu feel inexplicably a bit warm-faced, quickly turning her head.
The temperature in this car was still a bit too high!
Qingwu thought for a moment, then opened the information box in front of Pei Jue.
“The director of Tengshan Hospital and the director of Love Orphanage are the same person, who had contacts with a Ning City businessman, Lin Jingsheng, before disappearing.”
Lin Jingsheng?
How was he involved in this?
The Lin Family was indeed involved in the child-switching incident, thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising to see Lin Jingsheng’s handiwork.
Qingwu put away the note, slight furrows in her elegant brows.
She was stunningly beautiful, her brows expressing emotion but also exuding a killer’s unique coldness, her eyes radiant.
This expression added a touch of worldly air, making her seem more like a teenage girl.
“Is the information useful?”
“Yes, thank you, what should I prepare as a return gift? Joining Deep Sea is out of the question, I can’t give up High Tower yet.”
The assassins of High Tower had followed Qingwu for many years, harboring deep feelings for her and High Tower, she wouldn’t abandon her subordinates.
Pei Jue had a faint smile on his face.
“Then just tell me your name, I want to know your name, beyond the Dark Web, under the sun.”
Qingwu was a bit puzzled, was her name worth three million?
Wasn’t Singer educated, couldn’t they do basic math?
“Qingwu.”
“Pei Jue.”
Qingwu nodded, remembering Pei Jue’s name.
“Is it convenient for you to take me to Changrong Mall?”
Ye Yi’s largest brick-and-mortar store in Beijing was about to open, Ji Qiurong had repeatedly urged Qingwu to be there, timing was right now, if she didn’t go, Ji Qiurong would surely make a scene.
“Of course.”
Changrong Mall was Beijing’s largest shopping mall, full of luxury goods, it was normal for a girl like Qingwu to like going there.
After dropping Qingwu at the mall, Pei Jue turned the car into Changrong Mall’s parking lot before getting out and heading toward a Maybach parked there.
The butler, Old Xu, watched his boss climb out of an old, battered little car and almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
What was the boss up to? Suddenly fell in love with minimalism?
Seeing Pei Jue looking his way, Butler Old Xu quickly and respectfully said, “President, what you arranged has been done, Elder asked you to visit the hospital tomorrow.”
“Why tomorrow?”
Butler Old Xu hesitated for a moment, knowing he couldn’t keep it from Pei Jue, hesitantly said, “It’s because Chief Shen’s granddaughter will be there.”
Pei Jue closed his eyes and pressed his temples.
“I understand.”
